Puffy Paint

Puffy paint is a wonderful sensory experience for children, both while it’s wet and after it dries. It’s hard to resist feeling these puffy pumpkins in our halls! To make puffy paint at home, mix equal parts shaving cream and white glue. Tint with paint and adjust the mix until it reaches a consistency you like. Cover a table with old newspapers, put on a smock, and dollop some puffy paint on a piece of construction paper. Then let your child loose! Encourage them to push the soft foam around with their hands. Allow to dry for at least 24 hours before hanging your child’s masterpiece.
